Fuck me, No Man's Wharf is kicking my ass. Lost about 30 000 souls in total tonight. Gonna try out a magic based character for a bit before taking it on again...

SORCERER is brilliant class. Ranged attacks make a huge difference

Does anyone know where I can get a Bastard Sword? Can't seem to buy one from the merchants and I really want one.

[Possible Spoilers]

The hollow knights with the Greatswords in Forest of Giants sometimes drop them. There is also one on a corpse, but you need the key from the Last Giant to access that area.

I started as Sorcerer and yet am running around with awesome Flame Sword! Loving this game and my choice of GOTY for sure.

Question for you guys tho :

In Forest of Giants, from 3rd bonfire, if you head out and them walk across and left, you can see a barred gate. There is treasure just beyond, but I can't open gate. What am I missing? :-(

A shame it's not cross-platform

Definitely a contender for GOTY.
I gave sorcerer a try, need to get used to nit having a shield there and to dodge/roll more often, though I like the quickness of strikes. One thing I don't get is, how do you know where you aiming for your spells if you aren't locked onto a target?
It's not like a bow when has an aim function, and if you too far to lock on you can't pick them off.

I usually use my characters head I know that sounds weird but that is how I aim when I can not lock on.

i line up my right hand and let rip with a soul arrow. then adjust if needs be. I have managed to ping many enemies from afar i this manner. rang of soul arrow is excellent. and i have a shield in one hand, and staff/sword in other.
